Took it for its MoT, passed with no advisories. It was only 3*C & Misty, I was bloody freezing so instead of going the long way round, it was straight home for a warming cuppa.

Haha, I meant the piece of meat was next doors dog

I thought it was next doors dog

I will be making a detailed description of exactly what I do along with the relevant receipts for any future owner. I’m not sure that you can take the bulbs out of an LCD display but I like your thinking, equally sticking tape over them isn’t really an option.

So thanks for all the advice, but it all seems a bit too much hassle. So I’ve taken advantage of the rise in temperature to give the Trophy’s head many coats of paint & because it’s just too big to fit in our oven it’s now baking in the garden.
-
E’rrm, so when I get a moment I’ll do it myself- if I do, how do I get the service due spanner & overdue timer on the display reset?

H’mm, sometimes I think putting this stuff on the internet feels like doing bike maintenance in the coliseum ... the whole crowd gasping as you make an elementary mistake & the thumbs down from those that know as you hamfistedly cock up yet again!!! This place seems pleasantly different, always helpful & although commonly piss taking, never malicious.

Was the cheese in the batter mix or sprinkled on top? I reckon The mushrooms & Garlic spinach would be a cracking addition.

Took it out of its cave & checked it over prior to MoT on Monday. Went to take it for a spin round the block just to make sure all was ok ( an essential journey ) and the engine died as I backed off the drive, it appears as if the little fuel it had in it has made a bid for freedom in the last 3 months, got a gallon from the garage & topped it up & all was good. Good job I didn’t wait until Monday.

Look, you can’t sue the whole Chinese population just coz their bikes are sh*te..... there you go, I’ve saved you a load of hassle, the bills in the post In all seriousness, I hope it goes well, you get a successful outcome & you don’t have to disappear from here for too long
-
Yep, I’ll do all that I can myself, the let a pro do the rest.
-
Ah, yes, see what you mean, l can put up with it for 20mins but can see how it grates.

Morning all Missus Mickly just back from having her DNA altered & Microchip injected

I had to change some shims on the Trophy - the bike has allegedly only done @30k No idea what Ken was on about, maybe he just didn’t want the work, he seems to have been winding down for the last 10 years
-
Haha, they were the ones who I took the Trophy to for jetting and hence being in the middle of the engine rebuild - not that they did anything wrong, just the purveyors of bad news.

It’s foil backed bubble wrap

I’d might have been ok at that, but this is £350 more !!
-
Thanks for the heads up. Funnily enough, I’ve got the MoT booked with Ken for Monday.
-
Thinking of Behind Bars in Kenilworth, would you recommend them @fastbob ?
-
Yep, I think Independent is the way to go
-
Yeah, what I meant was that by the time the Bike returns at the Max miles over 3 years they wouldn’t need to pay for the 12k service .... unless it’s sneakily deducted from the future value?
-
No wonder PCP seems so appealing
-
They reckon it’s 8 hours labour. Oil & filter change Brake & clutch fluid change Valve clearances Strip & grease rear suspension linkages - something that is occasionally charged for but not done !! Other ‘checks’
